Interview with Viznut, Creator of Minimal Art Platform IBNIZ

Recently, this video of IBNIZ in action made its way around the electronic music blogosphere. IBNIZ is an extremely enigmatic art platform. It’s not necessarily easy, or pretty, or even broadly useful. IBNIZ is uniquely targeted at a small coterie of artists with specific aesthetic goals. I had the opportunity to [...]

Rendering video in Processing is easy. The MovieMaker class makes it incredibly easy to render Quicktime video files from a Processing sketch. Unfortunately, Processing doesn’t supply tools for rendering audio using the MovieMaker class. Hence, rendering the output from a multimedia program can really be a headache.

I’ve spent a lot of time working [...]

As demonstrated by the video, IBNIZ (Ideally Bare Numeric Impression giZmo) is a virtual machine and a programming language that generates video and audio from very short strings of code. Technically, it is a two-stack machine somewhat similar to Forth, but with the major execption that the stack is cyclical and also used at an [...]

Beads is a library for creating and analyzing audio in Processing or Java, and it is head-and-shoulders above the other sound libraries that are available for Processing. From the ground up, Beads is made for musicians [...]

Ben Carey sends word of his latest project in Max. Apparently, he is building a Max patch that granulates an audio file based on GPS data and accelerometer data from an iPhone.

GPS data controlling the mix between stereo outputs of a 4 buffer polyphonic sampler;
Sampled iphone accelerometer data controlling movement through the four sound [...]

Earlier this year, we looked at how to read and write wav files in C++ and VB.Net, and C/C++ is really the natural choice for this kind of file IO (for a number of reasons that we won’t go into here). Nonetheless, not everyone uses C or C++ for computer music software. Increasingly, [...]
